Hey, i'm looking for a keyboard that has very soft and low profile keys.

You can find this type on most notebooks. I just love that soft feeling when typing (complete opposite of hard, mechanical keys)

What's the name of this technology and do they make this kind of keywords in full size?
 
Thanks for the suggestion.

What's the name of this type of keyword tough? In case i want to search for other brands.
 
I've long been a fan of scissor/dome keys, ever since my first thinkpad.
I used a Logitech UltraX for a long time, not sure if those are still available, at the time it was a good deal. Many "slim" or "low profile" desktop keyboards use scissor switches, look for those key words.

I currently use a logitech dinovo edge, which has laptop style keys and a soft membrane on top of the mounting plate to reduce noise, and makes for a very soft key bottoming. The only bad things I have to say about it are that it doesn't feature nkro, or even 6kro, and it's expensive. Very quiet, types fast enough for my floppy fingers, the touchpad is useful without being obtrusive, and it looks sharp.
 
I got a Rosewill RK-7300 for around $12 a while back and I think it's great bang for the buck as far as keyboards go. Far and away better than the rubber dome crap that most people have for a keyboard. I've done a lot of typing on it and spilled things on it once or twice and it's held up remarkably well (though I did break the N key, through no fault of the keyboard).

They don't appear to be available on Newegg anymore but you might find one or something similar elsewhere.

Edit: And yes, it's a Scissor Switch (AKA Laptop-Style)
